During my time as a New Yorker, I made a point of visiting two equally charming, yet different couture destinations…Court Shop and Curve Boutique. Not only was I excited to glimpse the fashion unique to their brand, but also to experience the decor and idyllic environment…something which only a well executed specialty boutique can offer.

Located on the edge of Little Italy…where everyone greets you as ‘bella’, is Court Shop, at 178 Mulberry St. A perfect mixture of vintage inspired clothing and accessories with a Brit punk quality. A pair of soft, faded gray cut-offs caught my eye immediately along with their unique collection of silver cross necklaces, combat boots, and oversized clutches (resembling my go-to McQueen version).

Love love loved the weathered, antique furnishings…accents blending effortlessly with the fashion.

Curve Boutique…I could live there, immersed in a sea of couture. Located in SoHo at 83 Mercer St., Curve’s sharp, mimimalistic interior compliments everything from the stunning Jasmine Di Milo corset dresses to staple knits offered in a array of ethereal textures. City chic meets captivating edge…tastefully studded leather, intricate fishnet, and phenomenal chain statement pieces. Simply amazing.

Two exceptionally inspirational NYC fashion havens…each offering something a little different all with classic style + taste.

   I have only been to NYC briefly, sadly no time for shopping. I am hoping to go back I will definitely save this and try to visit some of these places. Thanks for the guide!
